The Village Manager reported that prices had been secured from
three companies for the purchase of two new refrigerators for use of the
Country Club kitchen and he recommended purchase from the Kurman Company
with the low bid of $2440. 00. Mr. Jones moved that we authorize this expendi-
ture at the lowest bid.. Motion was seconded by Mr. Clement and passed
unanimously.
A proposal was made by the Village Manager to install a film on
the glass of the windows of the club lounge to cut down the sun's rays and aid
the air conditioning of the room. Mr. McCall stated that installation of this
material will cost $807. 00 and that he had. investigated. this product, known
as the Scotchtint Solar Film, on his recent trip to Arizona where it was
highly recommended. After some discussion Mr. Clement moved that we
look into this a little further. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed
unanimously.
A letter had been received from attorney John Prunty, and he
appeared at this meeting, to renew a spacing variance granted. on October 20,
1964 by the Village Council for a gasoline service station to be constructed on
the northeast corner of N. E. 90th Street and. Biscayne Blvd.. The station had
never been built but now negotiations are taking place for another oil company
to construct a station at this location. After discussion Mr. Jones moved that
this be delayed until our next meeting when we have a full Council. Mr. Clement
seconded the motion and. stated that if we do not wish to uphold. our ordinance
we should change the ordinance. The motion was then passed.
The Village Manager reported that the County is putting up street

signs and asked. the Council if they would like to have the County do this
for the Village and if so, does the Council wish to do away with our concrete
posts. Mr. Clement thought we should put up our own street signs. It was
the Mayor's thought that we should design our own sign that is unique to Miami
Shores. The Village Manager stated he would ask the Beautification Committee
to study this.
After a review of the current bills Mr. Clement moved that they
be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
